Products Ready for Your Last Minute Order
Calor Gas Cylinders
Most homes here rely on Calor gas for cooking, heating, or barbecues. Harringtons supply a full selection of Calor gas cylinders in various sizes, supported by a reputation for dependable, friendly service.
Kiln-Dried Logs and Smokeless Fuel
If you have a wood-burning fire, kiln-dried logs offer a cleaner, more efficient burn that helps keep your home cosy through chilly nights. Harringtons also stock smokeless fuels, which produce less smoke and ash — ideal if you want the warmth and atmosphere of a fire without the mess or upsetting your neighbours.
Additional Fuels and Accessories
Besides the main fuels, Harringtons also stock kindling, charcoal, coal, and portable heaters — so you can tailor your heating supplies to what your home needs.
Water Softening Salt
Often overlooked but practical, water softening salt helps prevent limescale build-up in pipes and appliances, potentially saving you costly repairs. It’s available in block, tablet, and granular forms — an easy, affordable way to protect your home and possibly reduce water bills.
